Random thought: could the millions of dollars in missiles which are near-inevitably going to be launched on Syria be better spent on broadcast airtime to show (in detail) what's happening on the ground there, in an effort to shame Russia and China (and the rest of the world) into more serious UN action?

So, despitesome (possible?) agreement with my general sentiment, by an official vote of approximately 1 million recommendations of comments disagreeing with me, to zero recommendations of my original post or my own explanatory comments, I stand thoroughly corrected.

Denton should really be proud of the crowdsourced bullshit community moderation around here. Writers can't be bothered to remove obvious racism. Other writers take their personal vendettas to the commenters by blocking so many of us from the front pages.
